A facile interconnected nanofibre electrode material derived from polybenzimidazol (PBI) was fabricated for a supercapacitor using a centrifugal spinning technique. The PBI solution in a mixture of dimethyl acetamide (DMA) and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was electrospun to an interconnection of fine nanofibres. The as-prepared material was characterised by using various techniques, which include scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) among others.

Many reviews have been written to clarify the state of knowledge and identify the research needs of this pollutant class. However, studies have yet to analyse the scientometric complexities of PCN literature.

Article Synopsis
- - Neonicotinoid insecticides, known for their strong effectiveness against a wide range of pests, are commonly used worldwide, with dinotefuran being a notable recent addition due to its rapid absorption by plants.
- - Despite their effectiveness, there is increasing concern about the negative impacts of neonicotinoids, like dinotefuran, on biodiversity and non-target organisms in agricultural environments.
- - This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on dinotefuran's non-target effects, explore management strategies to minimize these impacts, identify research gaps, and propose future research directions for better risk assessment and responsible use.
Article Synopsis
- * This study investigates how different SiO/AlO ratios in amorphous zeolites ZSM5 affect the electrochemical performance of cobalt oxide-loaded composites.
- * Results indicate that higher SiO/AlO ratios lead to better specific capacity and electrochemical performance, suggesting that optimizing this ratio is essential for creating effective supercapacitors.
Several anthropogenic activities produce radioactive materials into the environment. According to reports, exposure to high concentrations of radioactive elements such as potassium (K), uranium (U and U), and thorium (Th) poses serious health concerns. The scarcity of reviews addressing the occurrence/sources, distribution, and remedial solutions of radioactive contamination in the ecosystems has fueled data collection for this bibliometric survey.
